Liverpool-Live

OMD - whose hits include Joan of Arc, Electricity, Messages, Souvenir, Sailing on the Seven Seas and Enola Gay - developed their own unique style of electronic melodies and thoughtful lyrics that helped form their reputation for intelligent pop. Their latest studio album History of Modern was released in 2010.

Eric's influence on the music scene was legendary. With early gigs from Blondie, Buzzcocks, The Clash, Elvis Costello, The Jam, Joy Division, The Police, The Sex Pistols and The Stranglers. It was a favoured haunt for the people who would later form bands such as The Teardrop Explodes, Echo & The Bunnymen and Frankie Goes To Hollywood. So it was quite apt that Eric's was the venue of choice for the debut performance of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark in October 1978.

Supporting OMD are Liverpool band, Kids on Bridges, who promise to bring their own blend of Dirty Filthy Electro Pop to the masses.

Eric’s will re-open its doors to the public this September with a selection of pre-launch gigs. An official launch is planned in October to mark the 35 year anniversary since the venue first opened.

Listings will be announced over coming weeks.
